Eurostat – LUCAS

2. Agenda Tour de table & Restaurant Introduction on grants by Eurostat
Presentations by grant holders
EAGLE matrix

4. LUCAS grants: statistics + in-situ data
Explore a better integration of MS data into the EUROSTAT LC/LU statistics production cycle
Quality & comparability, cost efficiency, timeliness
 harmonise LC/LU statistics in MS, access to micro data
 integrate LUCAS in national in-situ survey
